I have a 2007 Nissan AltimaT 3.5 SE. The Traction Control System light comes on along with the SLIP light and stays on. The car starts moving slowly when accelerating and a noise under hood top front is heard. The Engine Service light came on before this happened and is also still on.
When I turn the car off and back on it lights go out but come back on in short order. Any ideas?

Get car run for DTCs, it's telling you something is wrong.

Yes. I know something is wrong. I did a DTC analysis and it points to needing a tune up (spark plugs changed) and fuel ejectors cleaned. I still feel there is more to the issue than these two issues but I will soon find out. Got an appointment for tune up/ejectors cleaning in a couple of days.

Could be a damaged wheel sensor or wheel sensor wire? If that's the case i would think the ABS light would also be on- since both of those systems get signal from those sensors. + others.

I'm having the same problem. Also it seems to steer oddly as well and will drag one side or the other.
I think that is the traction control causing one of the brakes to drag. I was also thinking it would be a wheel sensor, but no ABS light.
Did you get your problem fixed? If so, what was it?
